About Eastern Alps Hotels

This part of Austria is relatively inexpensive, except for the top resort towns of Bad Gastein and Zell am See. Even there, budget accommodations are available outside the center of town or in pensions. Note that room rates include taxes and service and almost always breakfast (except in the most expensive hotels) and one other meal, which is usually dinner. Halb pension (half-board), as this plan is called, is de rigueur in most lodgings. However, most will offer a breakfast-buffet-only rate if requested. Most hotels provide in-room phones and TVs. A few of the smaller hotels still take no credit cards, or if they do, will add a surcharge of between 3% and 5%. In the prominent resorts summer prices are often as much as 50% lower than during ski season.
